The Empress's Exclusive Love

My next upcoming novel is A Woman's World: Drinking Poison to Quench Thirst. Please add it to your collection, thank you!

A new emperor ascended the throne, a new dynasty began, and an amnesty was declared across the land.

Qin Qi, the daughter of a criminal who had been imprisoned in Liangzhou for years, was pardoned and released.

With her clothes in tatters and her body covered in scars, she stank as she lay in the streets and alleys. Starving and freezing,

she was fortunate to receive food and clothing from a person wearing a veiled hat, who took pity on her.

"Tasty, isn't it?" A pleasant voice lingered by Qin Qi's ear, stirring her heart and setting her imagination racing.

Sadly, the person before her had their face hidden beneath the hat, so she couldn't see what they looked like. All she could do was commit his retreating figure to memory, hoping to see him again.

But he never appeared again, and Qin Qi was on the verge of turning into a stone statue, waiting for her husband...

Later, an announcement was posted at the city gate. The city lord and his son appeared atop the gate tower to declare that they would hold a ball-tossing contest to find the son a husband. Only then did Qin Qi see the figure she had been dreaming about day and night. As it turned out, he was the city lord's son.

Qin Qi: I'm going to snatch the ball.

The beggars: A beggar dares to set her sights on such a pure and noble young master? She'd be lucky not to get beaten to death.

Qin Qi: I'm not just going to grab the ball. I'm going to marry him and make him give her eight or ten children.

The beggars: She's gone completely mad. There's no saving her...

Novel blurb:

Yuan Sanlang was carrying firewood home when he stopped to defend the weak and teach a villain a lesson. Afterwards, a woman dressed in white as brilliant as snow blocked his path.

At first, he thought the villain had brought in an accomplice to take revenge. But this person was as beautiful as a jade-crowned gentleman, with white teeth and red lips, and moved with such grace that she didn't seem like the kind to consort with scoundrels.

He asked just one thing: "Why are you stopping me?"

The woman stared at him blankly, her ears turning red with shyness as she stammered, unable to get a coherent answer out.

He was almost out of patience when he finally figured out that she was Doctor Mo, whom the village chief had just invited from town to treat the sick. She had just arrived in Fengxia Village, gotten lost, and wanted to ask him for directions.

Yuan Sanlang kindly pointed her the way, but it turned out that a woman so beautiful was also a complete airhead who couldn't tell east from west.

Fortunately, the village chief's home was close to his, so he went the extra mile and walked her there.

He thought it was just a minor incident, but it turned out everything had been a trap she had laid for him...

Content warnings:

1. The female lead is a villain, but loves only the male lead. Male pregnancy, a native female-dominated society, and both leads are virgins.

2. I'm terrible at writing blurbs and am a newcomer.

Please add it to your collection! I recommend waiting until there's more to read. Thanks to every lovely reader!

3. Please don't nitpick historical details. Just enjoy the story, and if you don't enjoy it, please don't leave a low rating. Thank you!

Theme: Whether it's fate or calamity, human action matters more than the will of heaven.
